Hello hello, anyone looking for private guitar lessons in the PLG / Crown heights area? I recently finished my masters in jazz guitar and currently have a few spots open for teaching, beginner to advanced level. electric and/or acoustic guitar.

Noticed they have been renovating the old Faun space on Vanderbilt. I was nosey and saw a sign saying “keep pasta machine” - so it might be another Italian restaurant. Anyone else hear anything?

I used to treat myself to a large jerk chicken plate from there on Fridays. I like Caribbean Sweet Spice but looking for more options in general. Ideally walking distance. Thanks!

Been a member for a few years and know the rules (no blankets except at specific members nights, no dogs, no outside food, no games or big toys) but lately noticed that those seem to be out the window. Wondering if it’s new policies or just that guards are being more chill during the busier season.

The guards used to be so strict about it, it’s kinda wild now.

This is probably a long shot but…. about a year ago (maybe July ‘25) I had a run in with a guy named Greg. Maybe around 6’1, well built with a buzz cut at the time (extremely handsome). He sort of chased me down several streets to grab my number. I couldn’t give it to him at the time unfortunately. We had a great interaction, sort of clicked right away, and if I could go back and give him my number, I would.

He went into branded saloon, but I don’t think he works there anymore. He said he “works at a few bars in the area” but I’ve come up short in my search for him. Posting here as a last resort.

Greg if you see this, it’s Christopher. It’s my turn to run down the street for you. Hope we get a chance to grab a drink!

Hi, I've lived on my block for nearly 20 years, 10 of which with a car and have never had this happen before. Is double parking for street cleaning no longer accepted? Our street has street cleaning from 1130-1pm, I moved our car at 1125 to double park. I went to move our car back at 12:55 and came out to find a double parking ticket at 11:27. It would've been cheaper to leave the car parked for street cleaning. Are we literally supposed to move our cars at exactly the start time of street cleaning?

I just took a walk in the park and noticed cop cars and a group of people looking concerned right by the zoo side - does anyone know what happened? I hope everyone is ok.
Update: someone posted in the prospect heights neighbors group that it was an attempted SA and the person might still be at large. So please be vigilant - they said they were male, around 5’5 and wearing all black.
